I'm still reading the book but need help quickly as I have family visiting soon and want to keep everybody safe. I adopted a 5 year old chihuahua rescue who was returned to the rescue after a previous 2 yr adoption. Leroy is a sweetie with my husband and me but horrid to others. He bit a guest who reached down to pet him even though he had been wandering around our group of friends for 1/2 hr. He bit our dinner guest who was clearing the table even though she had been in the house for over an hour. He doesn't break the skin but it happens so quickly, more than a few seconds go by before I can even reach the dog. Then he acts like nothing happened. I've got family including 3 children and my Dad flying in to visit for a week and my Dad will blow a head gasket if I allow a biting dog around children.
I'm buying a crate tonight. This little dog snuggles with me, walks nicely on a leash, is housebroken, loves my 2 other dogs, will take treats from our friends very nicely and appears to look at me for direction. I'm panicked because I've got 2 weeks til family arrives. Hints, suggestions, anything much appreciated.
